And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. … No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.”<br/><br/> - <em>Martha Graham</em>http://monicaliane.tumblr.com/post/50474587465http://monicaliane.tumblr.com/post/50474587465Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400blessed unrestartistyouindividualityuniqueblessed<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/12bddf30d0344c1b2f943498111586a1/tumblr_mmt2gcMvCt1qzhqm7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://monicaliane.tumblr.com/post/50441203223http://monicaliane.tumblr.com/post/50441203223Tue, 14 May 2013 16:33:47 -0400<a href="http://tumblr.paulstuart.com/post/46531897616/on-set-for-paul-stuart-s-s-2013-75-years-in-the">Paul Stuart: On Set for Paul Stuart S/S 2013 - 75 Years in the Making</a>: <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://jhilla.tumblr.com/post/46502980253/on-set-for-paul-stuart-s-s-2013-75-years-in-the" target="_blank">jhilla</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p class="p1"><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/16a7625b7fa2bcca94a69ae53c3283e0/tumblr_inline_mk8pe7tdBP1qz4rgp.jpg"/></p> <p><span>My infatuation with Paul Stuart is no secret.
